Average food, maybe, better for lunch. Selection is not great, portions small. Seating crowded and too loud for conversation. Service was good.

Had a great brunch at the bar with two good friends. Food was real good, and I even got a little extra honey for my toast.

My wife and I have been to Petite Vie several times over the last few years. For the handful of times we've been there, we've enjoyed the great food.

However, the service is equal to the food, which helps in rounding out a restaurant that you'll want to come back to. Also, there's a nice, lively atmosphere that we enjoyed during our time there.

The food was on point and presented beautifully. The wine list was well represented with nice selections of bottles and wines by the glass.

If you're looking for a great restaurant in the western suburbs, give Petite Vie a try. You'll enjoy the food, the service and the wine.

High quality farm fresh ingredients in every item you order- you can tell everything is made onsite and prepared with care. Generous proportions considering it is a French restaurant. Pleasant atmosphere, beautiful touches throughout. Great place for dinner (the back room is more private and intimate), but also a great choice for brunch.

We absolutely love to come here for dinner. We prefer the chefs table because of the immersive experience it creates. The food is always superb. Highly recommend their cocktails too.

All of the food was amazing, along with our service. I received the prefixes menus. Though it does lose a star as the steak and frites were not good for half the table. Tough + salty. Everything else is recommended.

The food was absolutely perfect. I really appreciate it when the music doesn't interfere with conversations with dinner companions! Sadly, many restaurants don't seem to understand that.

The Fat Tuesday specials were excellent! We all enjoyed the étouffée and the specialty drinks. Our server was wonderful- attentive but never “too much.” This restaurant is amazing! Consistently delicious.

Our bartender was fabulous, very informative. Chef Niall had wonderful menu suggestions and made sure that our food was prepared to perfection.

Had a lovely Valentine’s Day brunch here! No notes! everything was absolutely phenomenal. The baguette was one of the best I’ve had. Incredible jam and butter to go with it🙂 If I had so say something the soup could’ve used more salt but I could’ve just asked and they’d happily bring more
